How can i keep my edible decorated icing flower safe in the mail?
What about egg cartons? The styrofoam kind. Sit one down in each egg hole and maybe cushion them with tissue paper. I've never tried this but I've never mailed any flowers either. Depends on how fragile they are.
Reply:Call or go in to a local bakery that does wedding cakes etc... they will know about transporting things like that.
Reply:lots of dry ice
Reply:You could pack them in a box with popped popcorn around for cushion . Pack so that they do not rattle or move in the box . Send overnight or express mail and have fragile on the box Good luck

Are Black Eyed Susy flowers edible?

Most things in that genera are not edible. You are probably thinking of their similarity to sunflowers but I would not mess around with them.

Color/flower/scent/symbolism correlations are personal. My own "matches" wouldnt necessarily work for you. You need some "trial and error", along with following the guidance of your inner voice. Dont rely on books or the "advice" of others, beyond general guidelines.
Reply:Interesting question.


My comment is really about the rude accusation made against you for spelling colour, rather than color.





Why do some, perhaps Americans, think the way they spell words should be exactly the same elsewhere in the English speaking world. Its not.





Just like 's' versus 'z' in words such as specialize versus specialise.





Your spelling of colour is valid in UK and Australia and probably elsewhere.





Footnote: It seems your accuser has withdrawn his answer, perhaps he met a dictionary.
Reply:Thats such a nice question...


Its something that I would love to help you out with but I don't know the names of many flowers.


One that i would use would be sunflower for yellow


Hope that helped
Reply:roses and blossem for all.


How do you care for indoor snapdragon flowers?

Honestly, I don't know a thing about caring for flowers, but my boyfriend likes flowers so I want to make an indoor snapdragon garden for him. How do you care for snapdragons? Are the flowers safe to eat? (It says that the flowers are edible on the package of seeds but I don't know if that's a misprint or something.)


I haven't started on the garden yet, I want to have an idea on what i'm doing first.


Any suggestions?

How do you care for indoor snapdragon flowers?
For one thing snap dragons are more a outside then an inside plant. Growing them from seed is one way but do you plan to put them in a window box outside?





First you need a green house setup for the seeds. You can buy one or you can make one using any clear topped carry out tray (like the kind from taco bell 'nacho bell grande').





Put in good potting soil after you put in small drainage slits on the bottom of the tray.





Plant the seeds as instructed or 2" apart in the tray. Cover litely with soil and with a spray bottle from the dollar store spray the soil and seed until wet. Cover then let sit in a partly sunny location.





Once they've sprouted and start to over grow the cover, start training them with out the cover an hour a day to 6 hours to get use to the new environment . Water frequently.





Once they are use to the new environment then get the planter you plan to use and with a large spoon CAREFULLY (from the farthest point of the tray around the edge) gently scoop up the seedling and transplant it into the planter (already having a small hole pre dug to place it in. )





Once that is done make a new green house top using wire and saran wrap. Until they are over the shock of transplanting.





Once they are 2-3 inch's high start training them again in a sunny location with frequent watering's with the spray bottle.





Feed them a half strength water soluble plant food from the spray bottle about once every 2 weeks. If possible leave outside as a window box.

Nasturtiums, squash blossoms, kale, artichokes. Peas are not the blossom, but the seeds.

Reply:Day lily flower buds can be cooked (steamed) like green beans or pea pods. We have tons of wild common orange liles and I occasionally serve them up with dinner. They steam quite quickly.

Reply:zucchini (courgette) flowers.
Reply:peas?
Reply:as others have suggested all types of squash blossoms may be eaten. i think asparagus is actually a stalk, not a flower. dandelions flowers make a good wine and are great on salads, if picked in the spring.rose hips (the bottom part of a rose flower) are a great source of vitamin C, although they might be considered a seed pod.

Reply:This is not a fruit or veggie flower but the Dandalions are edible. Fix them like you would wild mushrooms. Soak in salt water overnight then rinse well.... Then flour and fry them. Yummy... Salt them to taste...One great thing about them is they are a whole lot easier to find then wild mushrooms and they kinda have the same flavor
